Overview
Other diagnostic studies are not always necessary but may be required for the diagnosis of shigellosis in the minority of patients, such as high risk patients who are hospitalized and in need of urgent management).
Shigellosis Other Diagnostic Studies
Enzyme-linked Immunoassay (ELISA)
- Detection of S. dysenteriae type 1 toxin in stools
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
- Detection of virulence genes of Shigella
- ipaH gene
- virF gene
- virA gene
Colonic or Rectal Biopsy
On microscopic histopathological analysis, the following findings may be observed from samples of the colon, rectum, and occasionally the distal ileum:
- PMN infiltration
- Formation of patchy inflammatory pseudomembrane
